Dear all, The next Alphy & AIEM joint meeting will take place in Lyon, France, on February 3-5 2025. The central goal of the GDR AIEM is to address fundamental questions in evolutionary biology using a wide focus ranging for example from taking advantage of methods from quantitative statistics and applied mathematics, up to discussing historical and philosophical perspectives of the field. ALPHY is an annual meeting dedicated to the field of Bioinformatics and Evolutionary Genomics. The main goal of this meeting is to promote informal exchanges in this highly multidisciplinary field, and to encourage young scientists to present their work. The program will include four keynote speakers (Fran?ois Rousset, ENS-Lyon; Elizabeth Murchison, University of Cambridge; Himani Sachdeva , Universitat Wien; Alexa Sadier ISEM) and ~30 contributed talks. The web site is open for registration and abstract submission (NB: registration is free, but mandatory): https://alphy-aiem-2025.sciencesconf.org/ Important dates: - Deadline for abstract submission: December 12 - Deadline for registration : January 10 See you at Alphy/AIEM!
